当决定留在家里做作业时, 放弃了去电影院娱乐得到的好处, 正确答案A.
- “the improvement in the mark” is the benefits she will obtain, NOT benefits forgone.
“成绩提高”是她做完这个决定后得到的好处, 不是“因为这个决定放弃的其他好处”.
- “the cost of extra electricity” is part of direct costs caused by the current choice, NOT best alternative benefits forgone
“多花的电费”是做这个决定的直接成本, 不是“放弃的其他选择中最好的”
- “the money saved” is benefits due to current choice, NOT best alternative benefits forgone
“省下的钱”是现在决定的好处,不是“放弃的其他选择中最好的”
